This mousse is a snap to prepare, and can also be made “sugarless”, using sugar free chocolate chips
2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Heat 1 cup of the cream in microwave
Pour over chocolate chips and wait 2 minutes
Whisk chocolate and cream until chocolate is totally melted.
Add remaining 1 cup cream and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
(Whisk in add-ins at this time if using)
Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes
With a hand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form
Alternate add-ins:
3 tablespoons Kahlua
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier and 1 teaspoon orange zest
